Man jailed for the supply and distribution of drugs in Tayside
A man has been jailed for more than three years for the supply and distribution of drugs in Tayside.
David Osborne, 47, was arrested on Thursday, 20 April, 2023 after officers searched his vehicle in the Hilltown area of Dundee and recovered cocaine with an estimated street value of £300,000.
He pleaded guilty to the offences at the High Court in Edinburgh on 1 February, 2024. Today, 22 March, he was sentenced at the High Court in Stirling to 40 months imprisonment.
Detective Inspector Julia Ogilvie from the Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit in Dundee said: “Drugs have no place in our communities and we’re committed to tackling the sale and distribution of them.
“We work hard to ensure Scotland is a hostile environment for those who want to engage in criminal activity. Convictions like this prove you will be caught and forced to face the consequences.
“If you have any information or concerns about the supply of drugs in your area you can report it via 101 or pass on information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
